Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It was a beautiful day here yesterday. I was able to get out of work by 2 and went for a nice ride with the windows down enjoying the fresh pollinated air. I couldn’t breathe last night, but it was worth it.

Before I get started with my card today, I just wanted to remind you that today is the last day to get in on my Designer Series Paper Share. This is a great way to get a sample of all the new DSP’s from the 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. Here are the details.

Today’s card is one that we are going to be making at my next card class. I have 2 brand new stampers coming, so I had to think simple. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Cling Stamp Set for my card. This one is just the basics, Stamp, Ink and Paper.

I started by stamping the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on a Basic White card front.

I stamped the vine image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink down the side of the Basic White panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade Mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside I stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once, towards the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the vine image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink over the script image, stamping off twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink in the center of the panel over the script. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the vine image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Flowers For Every Season 6X6 Designer Series Paper (retiring May 3rd) to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
